Bye, Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye, Bye By *Nsync is a song that when I was a kid I absolutely loved. Me and my sister used to have a cd with *Nsync on it but we don’t have it anymore because we wore the cd out. After we were done with it, it …
One step closer (song by, u2)
U2 is an Irish rock band and I decided I would give one of their Cd’s “How to dismantle and atomic bomb” a listen since I haven’t listened it for a while and I am in the mood to hear some of their music. One step closer is one …
Muse - Assassin (Song)
Assassin is a track by Muse which appears on their album Black Holes And Revelations. Interestingly enough, I just finished reviewing Soldier’s Poem which is another track on this record and Assassin is like the complete opposite of that track. Whereas Soldier’s Poem is a very melodic song and …
Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
This song is excellent we can’t deny that. Actually, this song has been recommended as one of the top 10 graduation song of all time. The message of the song allows us to reflect on how we deal with separation. Some may ask why is it suitable for a graduation …
Top 5 Michael Jackson Songs
After the untimely death of pop superstar Michael Jackson, it seems a fitting tribute to write a review of my all time top five hits by the King of Pop. Five songs are going to be hard to choose as there are so many amazing songs but I’ll give it …
Michelle Williams album ‘Unexpected’
If you haven’t sampled any of Michelle Williams songs from her new album ‘Unexpected’, do so ! She has such a solid, unique voice and I just love her new album. It’s more of a pop, dance type album, and the song ‘The Greatest’ is fantastic. There are great …
Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD
I didn’t realize that I had Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD in my collection. I assume it’s a version of a CD single because there are only two songs on it. I’m not sure I realized they made two-song CDs.
What would be the A side …
Love, Save the Empty Album by Erin McCarley
Erin McCarley is probably most well known for a song that was featured on all of the promotional material for the movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”. That song was called “Love, Save the Empty” and it is also the title for the album she recently released. That …
Eminem - Kim (Song)
Kim is a song by Eminem which appears on his album The Marshall Mathers LP. The track opens up in an innocent enough fashion with Eminem talking to his daughter, but a listener should soon hear the cynical tone which emerges from Eminem’s voice. For those of you who …
Just like a Pill (song) by Pink
Since her first single Get the Party Started, I started to become a huge fan of Pink. I love her style, her body, attitude and performance. Actually of her songs are worth listening and even her videos are worth watching. Just like this song I am about to review …
Animal Collective - Queen In My Pictures (Song)
Queen In My Pictures is a song by Animal Collective and the first track on their third studio record, Campfire Songs. Opening with an acoustic guitar strumming pattern, Queen In My Pictures introduces a listener to the sound that Animal Collective has throughout Campfire Songs. While the overly-experimental sounds …
Scars On Broadway - Chemicals (Song)
Chemicals is a track by Scars On Broadway which is on their self-titled debut record. I’ll say right now that although I like the song itself, I’m not a huge fan of the studio version and would certainly recommend a live version over the studio version. Throughout this entire …
Initiation (1999)
Anatholi Bulkin is a guitarist, known jazz compositions that attractive and interesting. Maybe like that seen in the album Initiation (1999), together, Anders Hentze (drums), and Jonas Reingold (bass). A progressive jazz album rich with elements of Afro-Cuban culture. Jazz compositions that He created quite a lot, with a …
Radiohead - Karma Police (Song)
Karma Police is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album OK Computer. I believe Karma Police is one of the better known Radiohead songs, and I must say that I believe there is good reason for this. The song opens up with in a fairly moderate tempo …
Punk Rock Album All Killer No Filler, by Canadian band Sum 41
Sum 41 is a fairly good Canadian Punk Rock band and this is their first album, and for a first album it’s actually fairly good in my opinion with some really good and memorable songs. I am not a hardcore fan of this band like I am some other …
Nine Inch Nails
Nine Inch Nails is an alternative rock group that I think is just awesome. I saw them in concert the last time they came through town and Nine Inch Nails was amazing! I have really liked their music since the 1990s, and while I am not taken by all …
Steppenwolf (band)
Although I do not think that many young people my age will recognize the name of the band “Steppenwolf”, I think very highly of them and believe that they should also be thought very highly of in the metal world of music as well, since I personally believe that …
Tomahawk : Anonymous
Anonymous does not play music like Faith No More like the previous albums. Kevin Rutmanis absence of a bass player, able to change the concept of music that normally hard, even though the age of the personnel are old enough. Tomahawk lowered the tempo in playing music? Tomahawk …
Green Day - 21 Guns (Song)
21 Guns is a song by Green Day which appears on their most recent studio effort, 21st Century Breakdown. I believe that this track is the second single released in promotion of the record, with Know Your Enemy being the first, and I firmly believe that 21 Guns is …
Cult Of Static
The band was founded in Los Angeles since 1994, the band did not offer something different, after five albums, Wayne Static, Tony Campos, Koichi Fukuda, and Nick Oshiro, still presents almost the same thing, just different doses. Released an album under the title Cult Of Static, Static-X remain faithful …
Muse - United States Of Eurasia (Song)
United States Of Eurasia (+ Collateral Damage) is a track by Muse which appears on their most recent record, The Resistance. For those of you who have heard this track then I’m sure you can agree with me when I say that it seems like Queen had a good …
Tainted Love (song by, Soft Cell)
I remember when I first heard Tainted Love on a radio station when I was visiting the United States. I was immediately hooked to this song but little did I realize it was quite an old song already. About 16 years old or just a bit more really.
I actually …
Shelter Of Your Love by Jimmy Cliff
Even though I like all genres of music, I have not had the opportunity to hear much reggae until I was watching the movie “Cocktail” starring Tom Cruise. There was a love scene between his character and Elizabeth Shue at an amazing waterfall and that is where I first heard …
Animal Collective - Campfire Songs (Album)
Campfire Songs is the third studio album by Animal Collective. Comprised of five songs, Campfire Songs is incredibly different than Spirit They’ve Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished or Danse Manatee, the first two records released by the band. Whereas these two albums relied on experimental songwriting, Campfire Songs is based …
Megadeth - Architecture Of Aggression (Song)
Architecture Of Aggression is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Countdown To Extinction. The track starts off with some drum parts which sort of mimic a machine gun before Mustaine’s rhythm comes into the song along with his vocals. To be honest, his guitar tone sounds …
The Real Me (Song by Natalie Grant)
I am an avid fan of Natalie Grant for several years now and this song is one of my personal favorites among her songs. There is a poignant feel to it both from the lyrics and from the melody which I could relate very well.
When I first heard the …
Taylor Swift: Speak Now
This is the third CD by Taylor Swift. I have been listening to it on repeat for the last three weeks. I have fallen in love with it, and there are plenty of reasons why.
First and foremost, Taylor has proved that she is not just someone who will …
Eminem - Love The Way You Lie - Music Video and Single
I think this is another great effort from Eminem and it had a great music video to go with it. Most men would love this simply because he has used both Megan Fox and Rhianna in this video but there are deeper meanings for those who wish to look.
Eminem …
Sledding With Tigers - Going To Georgia (Song)
Going To Georgia is a song by Sledding With Tigers and is the penultimate track on their second release, The Hill Sheep. Before I begin, I should add that this is a cover of a band called Mountain Goats, so I unfortunately cannot comment too much on the songwriting …
The Fragile, 1999 Album by Nine Inch Nails
This record is magnificent, it is brilliant. The Fragile is definitely one of the most interesting music albums I have ever come across. The previous NIN album was good, but this record, The Fragile has many features which are absent on The Downward Spiral. It has a lot more …
“Ignition (Remix)” (2003): R. Kelly
R. Kelly
“Ignition (Remix)”
Chocolate Factory
Jive Records
Director: Billie Woodruff.
The director of the utmost ghetto R. Kelly video “Feeling On Yo’ Booty” returns here for an even more ghetto video “Ignition (Remix)”, the first single and music video from R. Kelly’s album “Chocolate Factory”. I guess R. Kelly finally realized his …
Green Day - Give Me Novacaine (Song)
I will admit that when I heard the first few bits of Give Me Novacaine I was a bit worried that it was going to be another track to sound extremely similar to previous songs like Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Are We The Waiting, thankfully I was wrong. …
Taylor Guitars
Well the first saying that comes to mind when I think of Taylor guitars is “you get what you pay for”. Now, in some situations I have experienced this saying to be untrue. Such as, overpriced restaraunts with poor quality of food, salon grade hair products that …
Taking Chances album
Taking Chances seemed very appropriate as the album title was taken by Celine Dion. By presenting some old songs and some new songs, which differ with the type of songs that had been sung. Dion to make a change. Since her last album, A New
Day Has Come in 2002, …
Eric Clapton - Wonderful tonight (Song)
Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton is one of the best love songs ever. It has very simple lyrics about a couple that is going to a party, she is dressing up and he is just watching her and admiring how beautiful she is. It is nothing special, it is …
Within Temptation & Metropole Orchestra - Black Symphony
Make way for the new symphonic metal that will replaced Nightwish (after Tarja’s leaving the band to pursue a solo career it’s not a cool band anymore..). This dvd contains power-packed performance by the band. If you had seen The Silent Force Tour dvd you’ll be more mesmerised to …
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon (1973)
Monstrously succesful, an absolute legend, constantly on the charts, Pink Floyd’s undisputed masterpiece. These could be the adjectives with which this record could be described with. Other than these, it’s probably one of those rare albums, where the concepts and ideas expressed touch not only one person, but it …
Sunroad hard rock band
Sunroad is one of the hottest hard rock bands from Brazil.
Formed by Fred Mika and his cousin, Danillo Vee, in the heat of Brazil in 1996 and influenced by many top-notch heavy metal/hard rock bands such as Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Eloy and MSG (and more), this band has produced …
System Of A Down - Mezmerize
Overview - Mezmerize, System of a Down’s first half of the double album Mezmerize/Hypnotize, is an album written primarily by Daron Malakian who played an extremely prominent role in the album, most notably on vocals, something most fans didn’t like at all. Mezmerize is a difficult record to summarize …
The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever (Song)
Strawberry Fields Forever is a song by The Beatles which appears on their most psychedelic work, Magical Mystery Tour. The song starts off with a very melodic sound which sounds almost as if the song were in a dream before Lennon comes in gently with the vocals as this …
Metallica - Escape (Song)
Escape, one of the later tracks on Ride The Lightning, is a track that I’ll admit sounds forced and written for the radio in my opinion. Supposedly the story is that the record company wanted Metallica to write a track like Escape, due to …
Carrie Underwood - Blown Away (Song )
Carrie Underwood has been a staple of country music ever since she won American Idol. She offers elegant change in the genre and is considered as the country queen of her generation, achieving the likes of Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, Shania Twain and Faith Hill in the past.
I …
Weezer - Susanne (Song)
Susanne is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled debut record, otherwise known as the Blue Album. Opening with some guitar feedback and a simple drum rhythm, I get the feeling as if I’m listening to an old time song with Weezer adding their own electric influence …
Song : Speechless by Lady Gaga
“Speechless” by Lady Gaga is probably one of my favorite songs by her for the simple fact it justifies her fame more than anything else she’s recorded. Don’t get me wrong. I love pretty much all her songs but I think Speechless shows off how good her voice …
Korn
Korn’s self titled debut was released on Immortal/Epic in may of 1994 and recorded in Malibu California. This album is extremely dark and aggressive, the first song Blind, is about Jonathan Davis’s drug problems and how he felt blind a really aggressive song. Ball Tongue is less interesting but …
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt (Song)
Hurt is a song by Nine Inch Nails which is the final track on their concept album, The Downward Spiral. Something to note about this song was that it was covered by Johnny Cash before the time of his death, but I’ll be focusing on the version by Nine …
Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD
First of all, there is a very nice CD-rom portion of Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD that includes a video of Brad talking about the songs on the album, his start, and more. It’s really interesting to watch. It held my interest. The pictures and …
Megadeth - Have Cool, Will Travel (Song)
Have Cool, Will Travel is a song by Megadeth which appears on their Cryptic Writings. The track starts off with a sample of some blues song in the left channel along with a children’s song coming through the right channel, certainly an interesting way to start for Megadeth. However, …
